inside steam?

i just do it through chromium. externally.

most likely steam's chromium version is outdated (again)

The recent Steam update that "Updated embedded Chromium build in Steam to 84.0.4147.105" did not solve the problem.

Some Google searching led me to this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Cupdate-your-browser

the possibly relevant part being:

"To help protect your account, Google doesn’t let you sign in from some browsers. Google might stop sign-ins from browsers that:
...
Are embedded in a different application"

It may be that this feature is simply no longer possible (from within Steam itself). I guess the solution is for the Steam website to check if it's running in an embedded browser before deciding whether or not to show the youtube connect features to the user? but if it weren't just a Linux thing, then there would be probably more people noticing it doesn't work?

Edit: oh wait, maybe this?:

"Information for app developers
If you implemented "Sign in with Google" with the Chromium Embedded Framework, you’ll need to migrate to a more secure alternative:

Switch to use browser-based OAuth."

Or maybe not, idk, just throwing stuff out there in case something hits.

Still doesn't work to this day, I think this didn't work for an even longer time than the date of this bug report because steam almost doesn't update the chromium code at all, see this article, it was me who told the site what is written there and they made an article out of it, it's inexcusable that a company of this size and reach ships it's software with so old software and full of known vulnerabilities, don't they have money to hire 5, 10, 20 or more full time developers dedicated to keep the steam client secure?? Of course they have.

Here's the error message as of today:

Currently the stable steam client version seems to be using chromium 85 while the latest stable is version 120.

Steam beta client now uses Chromium 109.

Since Google no longer allows signing in from a browser which is embedded in another app, this issue is "unfixable".

In terms of devs spending time on this issue. I do not think that the time-cost to user-benefit math adds up for Valve or for users. Therefore I think that we as users should advocate for the simplest implementable solution.

I would consider this issue solved via these two implementations:

1: A compatibility toggle added to Steam settings along the lines of "Open all web links in system browser".

2: A right click option on a per link basis along the lines of "Open link in system browser"

Today, the issue persists yet.

I made it work by right clicking the green button in Steam and copying the URL, then pasting in Firefox and logging in to my Steam account via QR, then it allowed me to choose a YouTube profile and the videos I wanted to make available on Steam.

Is not necessary all these. Is simple as login in Steam in Firefox (http://store.steampowered.com/), in my case accepting the login in mobile app, and goes to Profile-->Videos-->Link Youtube account.

But will be better that was possible from the Steam client instead of login in Firefox-->link-->publish-->logout of Firefox.

O erro ainda permanece, continuo sem conseguir vincular a conta do Youtube ao Steam, já tentei edge, firefox, chrome e nada.

same problem here, it connects on the mobile web phone but immediately disconnects

From several months ago I can link the Youtube account in Steam itself (the application) and publish videos (1 year ago was imposible from application).

Each time I want to publish a video I need to link again.

Regards

I've tried every possible way, and it won't link at all.

its been down before, a few times, infact once it took 3 months to begin working again.

this is not limited to linux users either.
this is a steam api youtube linking api issue

at this point it wont matter if youre using
a mobile device
firefox
chromium
lynx terminal browser
steam launcher app
steam's mobile
vpn

nothing. the api is broken and valve has to fix whatever changed.
also possible, youtube changed. still valve would need to fix it again.

all of this, means, not a single person on steam can add youtube videos to games
no one.
